The 1985 studio album – in PINK vinyl & sleeve for this 40th Anniversary Edition. Features Glen Matlock, Wilko Johnson, Mike Monroe, John Perry, Patti Palladin & more. It’s the superior remixed & revamped version from 2019 with many unheard tracks – two extra tracks were discovered on the album 2” tapes; along with six unreleased outtakes and six live versions.
Remixed by The Vibrators' Pat Collier (RIP), who has brought the guitar properly up in the mix – Johnny missed the original mixing sessions, now it is heard as he originally intended. Gatefold notes by Nina Antonia. Limited edition. Also on 3xCD.
**A limited quantity of 1986 test-pressings of an unreleased 7" and 12" single from the album with an unheard mix will shortly be on sale at the Jungle Direct UK store.**
